Meet our team

Sukhbir Singh

Founder & Managing Director

Sukhbir started Diverse Services in 2022 after starting in support work at 18 and learning business in his uncle's company. He grew up in the same communities he now supports, and built this company to give people the kind of support he would want for his own family. He still picks up the phone himself, and meets every commissioner personally.
